Merge ubuntu-motu at lists into ubuntu-devel-discuss at lists?

[Laurent Lyaudet]

Hello :),

I found this list while searching contact information for this package:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/lunar/python3-uinput
Search Ubuntu MOTU Developers on the web page.
I think there must be a good number of packages where this list is
given as contact.

Best regards,
    Laurent Lyaudet
